From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility—Gavin Sasaki was a promising young journalist in New York City until the day he was fired for plagiarism.
The last thing he wants is to sell foreclosed real estate for his sister Eilo’s company in their Florida hometown, but he’s in no position to refuse her job offer. Plus, there’s another reason to go home: Eilo recently met a ten-year-old girl who looks very much like Gavin and has the same last name as his high-school girlfriend, Anna, who left town abruptly after graduation.
Determined to find out if this little girl might be his daughter, Gavin sets off to track down Anna, starting with the three friends they shared back when he was part of a jazz group called “The Lola Quartet.” As Gavin pieces together their stories, he learns that Anna has been on the run for good reason, and soon his investigation into her sudden disappearance all those years ago takes a seriously dangerous turn.
Look for Emily St. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility!

      Gavin Sasaki, a New York reporter, begins a downward spiral when he learns that he may have fathered a child when he was in high school. Unfurling the story at a slow pace, narrator Sarah Scott subtly portrays the flawed characters whose lives are changed by the secret of this child's existence--and the bad choices that result. While the story is depressing, Scott's performance is affecting. Alternating between the past and present, and weaving in the influence of the quartet that may have been the high point of these characters' lives, the story culminates in a climax that is surprising but inevitable.
